Trump addressed North Korea's abrupt shift on Thursday, saying that "the Libya model isn't the model that we have at all when we're thinking of North Korea", and that Kim would still be "running his country".

"There is nothing we have detected", Chung said.

The biggest sticking point appears to be the definition of denuclearization: US officials have repeatedly said they expect North Korea to accept "complete, verifiable, irreversible disarmament", while Pyongyang is seeking a phased process that could include a reduced USA military presence in the region. If not actually bused there, they will undoubtedly be reminded that Masik Pass, the North's luxury ski resort, and scenic Mount Kumgang, which just a decade ago was open to South Korean tourists, are just a short drive away.

"Where are we, if the meeting is canceled?". It was Moon's government that delivered the initial invitation from Kim for a meeting, and South Korea has been pushing the USA toward a peaceful resolution to the nuclear crisis.

Both parties to the talks are invested in holding the meeting, with Kim seeing an opportunity for worldwide legitimacy and Trump the prospect of securing Korean stability - and perhaps a Nobel Peace Prize.

Still, The New York Timesreported over the weekend that Trump is privately asking his aides and allies whether the summit should proceed.

In North Korea itself, foreign journalists arrived to watch the dismantling of a nuclear test site this week in a significant concession before the Trump talks.

The North is unhappy with the United States making it look weak and wants to make sure other issues such as human rights are not brought up during the summit, which could embarrass and undermine the North Korean regime, he said.

The summit ended with a joint declaration that both countries are committed to denuclearization and officially ending the war 65 years after the armistice. Pyongyang insists the precondition for denuclearisation is for the U.S.to end its "hostile policy".

"The Trump administration is getting a little bit nervous that there really is no deliverable here", said Carl Baker, director of programs at the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Pacific Forum. But the remarks still rankled in Pyongyang, and spoke to an apparent lack of understanding by Trump and those around him of North Korea's intentions going into the Singapore summit.

Kazianis suggested Moon could save the summit by getting Kim to agree to Trump's demands on a concrete timeline for denuclearization by the end of Trump's first term.

Kelly said the Moon administration will be "very concerned about the possibility of backsliding into "fire and fury".

If Kim's summit with Trump is called off or fails, that would be "a blow to Moon and his engagement strategy and to President Trump, who has credited his own pressure campaign as bringing North Korea to the table, ' Jannuzi said".

At a time when even U.S. allies are finding it hard to rely on an unpredictable and capricious Trump administration, Kim's strategy will likely seek to safeguard his nuclear "crown jewels" until a comprehensive peace and denuclearization accord is reached - an agreement he wants with reciprocal obligations, including South Korea coming out of the U.S. nuclear umbrella and the U.S., China and Russian Federation committing not to introduce or threaten to use nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula. When they talk, both men will likely express their ongoing hopes for negotiations with North Korea.

There's good reason to believe that Moon's handling of potential talks with North Korea - and, with that, his handling of Trump - has helped boost those numbers. The regime cited long-planned U.S.

In the run-up to the most-consequential summit of Trump's presidency, the president's Cabinet members are also doing their bit to foolishly stoke up concerns.
